FYI, Universal Sports can be a problem; they listed the men's/pairs short programs to start at 9:30 p.m. PST but they started earlier even though another show was listed on the cable guide.:sheesh:

Yeah, unfortunately we experienced the same thing Tivo recorded it but the schedule changed yesterday & I had no idea to change it. So we missed the beginning. I was on a plane when it started, so I couldn't change it even if I had known that they changed the times. Thank god for reruns

Juli, I'm outside the US and had an excellent quality free stream using the TVU player, channel 79538 "NBC 4" broadcasting out of southern California. However, NBC is only broadcasting the Senior Free Skate Events, the schedule I have as follows (all times US Eastern)--but cross check other sources on that timing:
Pairs: just completed, but I think taped rerun will be broadcast at some point
Mens FS: Sunday 1/17 16:30
Dance Free: Saturday 1/23 15:00
Ladies Free: Saturday 1/23 21:00

Universal is broadcasting SP's (pairs/mens already completed) and OD's but I haven't got that sussed out on accessing the live stream yet...working on it. I do not subscribe to Icenetwork (which if outside the US you can't access except if using US-based VPN), so can't get everything at will.

If you don't already have the TVU Player free software, google for the free download. Set up is not difficult.

Your feed won't be live, either: CA and the west coast get the broadcast on a 3-hour delay

Whatever I saw via TVU Player was absolutely live in real time. So maybe the online channel I saw is not on the delay schedule like the regular TV broadcast?

I tried channelsurfing.net before that and got a live feed, but the quality was so poor and choppy as to be unwatchable, though that could be my location and you could have better luck. Justin.tv didn't seem to have anybody online with a feed (it's better for the Asia-located competitions).

Also: remember that it doesn't good to try to get feeds during times when nothing is showing live or on replay! Best shot is to see if you can access the channels for anything, skating or not, in advance. Then try to get on again just at the start of a skating session--for which a search of recent GS posts (futureidol?) can get you started.
